Asa, Nandric, Rudolf Steiner found for himself - and thus for us... - the fixed point in philosophy and supplied thus the fix point so desperately longed for by Immanuel Kant. In his "Philosophie der Freiheit" (philosophy of freedom) he identified...

Dear Nandric, are there "extraherent values" in objects ? I think there are. For instance the eagle of a roman legion, the "Oriflammé" of the french kings (the war-flag of St. Denis), the stars and stripes of the USA - any banner of a nation. Thes...

Dear Nandric, maybe it is more than problematic to draw any line between "value" (which has become a foremost economic term) and "quality" (which today is corrupted by reality too) in the bright light of the day. Does "value" indeed need a recepto...

Dear Cdk84, allow me to - briefly- address a few points in your excellent post.Furthermore I want to take the opportunity to clarify once and for all 2 misunderstandings.First, I took - explicit and for good reason ! - the example of that specific...

Dear Atmasphere, I still believe that true value in the sense of the word has nothing to do with declaration or point of view of people but with its inherent quality.This seems inherently contradictory. There is no 'objective' viewpoint to be had;...

Dear Nandric, indeed - that phantom "best tonearm" will haunt us all for the rest of our journey through high-end audio.And yes, I think any given tonearm - no matter of concept or design - can't be universal, but has ( or should ...) be seen and ...

Kostas_1, good morning.Oxygen to humans is not of an assigned "value" - it is (even in market terms...) an indispensable "need". As such, "value" can't be the right term in the context.Whether we live in a democracy or just the pale shadow of one ...

Mosin, these two concepts are in discussion since about 237 years now. They are distinctive different. You will find tons of essays and informations about it in literature.

Atmasphere, whether roman dominance was a positive force in cultural development, the forming of nations and the concept of the modern state as we know it today is not the matter. I was only referring to the superior inherent ( read: superior mate...

Atmasphere, I still believe that true value in the sense of the word has nothing to do with declaration or point of view of people but with its inherent quality. Yes - today "value" in the mind of most people is only applied by the thinking of the...

Thom_mackris, your last post certainly shows that your spare time can't be all that limited...;-) ...Value is of course kind of a label and assigned by people. As thus it can never be universal nor objective in any way. Value in the sense that mos...

Dear Nandric, ..."But my quess regarding Dertonarm system is that the Dollar value of it would allow him to spend the rest of his life in a concert hall." - that may be true, but you can apply that to many Audiogon'ers set-ups.Meanwhile I am reall...

Dear Nandric, as much as I am taken with truly great sonic reproduction and the way it can open up certain aspects in complex music textures (Mahler Symphonies, Schoenberg - "Pelleas and Mellisande" for instance...) - I honestly meant that high-en...

Thom, first of all - the "principle" of novacula occami (Occam's Razor.... or more precise: Occam's scalpel ) is NOT a principle of nature nor ever used in that way by the man to which it's origin is related, but a phrase from a 19th century mathe...
